On Sunday morning, the total amount for all of Pieter Veenstra's birds
was still at about 450,000 euros. In just a few hours, the amount had
risen to almost 750,000 euros. At the beginning of the auction, it was
already clear that the number one lot would be Miss Overegge/Sister Dolce Vita. That ace
hen won 3 x 1st NPO/Provincial in only a few weeks time and had in the
meantime also become the dam of a 1st NPO winner. In the end she was
sold for 158,000 euros to a Chinese fancier.

The second most expensive bird was BIS sale number 4, sold for 25,000
euros to China as well. The buyer can choose between one of Dolce
Vita's best brothers ever and ace racer Jappeloup.

Miss Overegge now enters the top 10 of most expensive birds ever
sold. The is ranked 10th in the overall list and, as far as most
expensive hens ever sold goes, she is listed 2nd after Dolce Vita.
